Murderer Alex Murdaugh convicted of two internal prison disciplinary charges

The 55-year-old killer is serving two consecutive life sentences for murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul at their hunting estate Moselle in South Carolina in 2021

Alex Murdaugh has been found guilty of two prison disciplinary charges after conducting a news interview and using another inmate’s PIN number to make a phone call.

The 55-year-old killer is serving two consecutive life sentences for murdering his wife Maggie and son Paul at their hunting estate Moselle in South Carolina in 2021. Murdaugh’s lawyer Jim Griffin recorded Murdaugh in June reading entries into a journal he kept during his double murder trial for an upcoming Fox Nation documentary on his case, prison records show.

Prison officials sent Griffin a note saying if he knowingly or unknowingly helps Murdaugh violate rules again, he could lose his ability to talk to his client. Phone calls between lawyers and prisoners are not recorded or reviewed because their conversations are considered confidential, however prison officials said they began investigating Murdaugh after a warden reviewing other phone calls heard Murdaugh’s voice on a call made in a different inmate’s account.

Murdaugh said his phone password was not working. He also told the prison investigators about the recorded journal entries, according to prison records. Murdaugh is expected to plead guilty on Sept. 21 in federal court to charges that he stole millions of dollars from clients, according to court records.
